Gerry Conway knew he had discovered something bad, very bad. Someone was smuggling enriched nuclear material out of Russia. And no one seemed to know, except him, not even the Russian government. There was too much of the stuff sitting idle around the world. Much of it was very secure, some wasn't. He knew enriched nuclear material stored in Russia fell into the latter category. As the lead analyst in the U.S. National Nuclear Non-proliferation Center, he was compelled to bring his findings to the attention of his superiors in the CIA and thence to the National Security Council. But to be taken seriously, with the needed attendant action was not going to be easy. Petty politics and personal agendas, coupled with the dreaded, "not on my watch" attitude, stood in his way.In the meantime, Gerry's gut intuition told him that the nuclear time-bomb clock was ticking.Although a fictional novel, the facts and data presented are real. The novel's bottom line could be tomorrow's head lines.
